Re-Vision: Paintings by Roni Sherman Ramos

Atlantic Gallery is proud to announce the sixth solo show by Roni Sherman Ramos who has been exhibiting here over the course of nine years. My art practice has become a challenge as I continue to lose my sight. I have macular degeneration, so details and paint colors are increasingly more difficult to identify with assurance.

The good news is that by keeping up with alternative treatments, I have saved my eyes from losing central vision entirely. So, hooray, I can still paint! The vibrant palette I choose now may be my way of compensating for diminished visual acuity.

My process begins with multiple layers of paint which are gradually uncovered through sanding and scraping. I love watching the undertones reveal themselves.

Over dried paint, I apply wet paint loaded with solvent or medium. I use a squeegee to mix colors and notice how they blend together and how shapes are transformed. I stop when I’m satisfied. I love the guided serendipity of it all.
